Howard County Juvenile Crime Lawyers
Maryland Juvenile Criminal Defense Since 1975
The juvenile system differs from the adult criminal justice system in that it is primarily concerned with rehabilitation, rather than punishment. This means that more opportunities exist to achieve a positive result. However, an experienced attorney is required to ensure that all of these opportunities are found and used properly. The attorneys of the Willis Law Firm, P.A., know how to seek out these opportunities. We know how to defend against charges of juvenile crimes.

The Juvenile System
In juvenile crime cases, like in adult crime cases, our initial goal will be to get the charges dropped entirely. Unlike adult cases, however, if we are not able to get the charges dropped, we still have a wealth of opportunities to protect your child's interests.
Often, a matter can be resolved informally in a Department of Juvenile Services hearing. However, the prosecution may file a petition for delinquency, which could lead to a matter moving into juvenile court. Even when this is the case, options still exist to allow your child to walk away with a clean record, such as taking part in a juvenile deterrence program. You can be certain that we know the options. We know how to get results.
